SAN TECHNICAL - DETAILS/ SPECIFICATIONS Technical Details / Specifications for 25 -TB Usable capacity SAN Solution Item 1) SAN STORAGE HARDWARE : One No. S.N. Features Description Technical Compliance 1. The Storage System(s) shall have no single point of failure. To name a few but not limited to Nondisruptive component replacement, hot-replacement of Interfaces, Disk controllers, Disk drives, Cache memory cards, Micro-code, Power supplies, Battery systems, Fan subsystems, FC controller and ports, etc. There shall be no performance degradation due to any single failure in the storage. 2. Front end ports The storage system shall be configured with at least 8 front end FC ports which can be scaled upto 24 FC ports and 6 ISCSI ports or higher. 3. The proposed array would be preferred with a modular architecture. This would enable us to increase performance as well with an upgrade of every additional storage shelf. 4. The storage system should at least be proposed with 32GB cache. All cache shall be available as write or Cache read cache dynamically as per application 5. Storage requirement. The storage system shall be configured with at least 25TB Usable capacity to handle future expansion upto a maximum limit of 100TB. Highest capacity FC and SATA disk available should be used. 6. The data should be spread across all the disks available in the storage. The data should be written in a way that there should be no hot spots. At any point in time, all the disks should participate in the I/O operation. When Storage expansion happens, the new additional resources have to be used optimally to balance the load across the new resource and available resources automatically without any user intervention. 7. 8. Spares data high availability The storage system shall allocate hot spares in such a way that there should be no hot spot areas in the storage. The storage should have at least 5% hot spare space allocated on the RAW space. The data should be mirrored in a way that at any point in time there should always be 2 copies of the data available in the storage. During failures, the
9. 10. 11. Microcode upgrades Load balancing Snapshots storage should automatically be able to create another copy of the lost data through the mirrored copy without any user intervention. It shall support non-disruptive online microcode upgrades without impact on any application connected to storage system. It shall provide dynamic load balancing and automatic path fail over capabilities The Solution shall be configured with Load Balancing & Auto Failover software from a host perspective. There should not be any performance penalty for Server I/O when the snapshot is enabled. In case performance degrades during snapshot because of copy on write mechanisms, then atleast twice the number of disks should be supplied than that required as per capacity sizing to offset the IO load on the production due to copy on write snapshots. 12. The design shall provide automatic rerouting of I/O traffic from the host in case of primary path failure. The configuration of storage shall be such that performance of storage shall not degrade in case of - primary path failure. The I/O paths from the servers and servers shall be load balanced and both the paths shall be active in normal course of operation. 13. 14. GUI - storage management tools OS- support The Storage system shall be configured with GUIbased Storage Management Software Tools for Management. A single command console shall be used for the entire storage system The storage system shall support the latest OS releases of the following mentioned servers / OS :- CISC-based Servers running Windows 2003, Windows 2008, Linux etc., RISC based servers running HP-UX, IBM AIX, Solaris. 15. The Storage System shall be guaranteed to be fully compatible for Host Bus adapters, clustering solution and OS offered with the Servers. The storage system shall be seen by software as standard disks. 16. The storage system shall support connectivity to multiple host platforms simultaneously. 17. The Storage System shall support the following High Availability Clusters. -Cluster solution from HP, IBM; Veritas, SUN, & Windows. Additional requirement, if any, shall be indicated by tendering authority. 18. The storage system shall allow easy expansion and scalability to support future storage requirements. All upgrades should be without any disruption. 19. The storage system shall support non-disruptive component replacement.
20. Error detection and logging 21. Pro-active maintenance The storage system shall support automatic detection of errors, error logging and notification. The storage system shall support Pro-active maintenance self monitoring, self diagnosing and wherever possible, self repairing features. 22. The storage system shall support automatic isolation of failed components. 23. The Storage system shall support recovery from unscheduled power failure/ interruption without any data loss. 24. The storage system shall support data replication from one storage system to another storage system without any server intervention. The storage should be able to replicate to multiple target systems. The storage should allow replication in both directions. 25. 26. 27. 28. Management SW Replication Data Migration Thin Provisioning Storage infrastructure Software will at least have SAN Management Software, Local and Remote Replication software and migration software. The storage system shall support hardware based data replication to a remote site. The storage should be configured with data migration feature. The storage should support Thin Provisioning. There should be hard and soft limits set to the storage pools. The snapshots should not be included in the soft size limit. 29. No end of life storage product shall be quoted in the bid.
